Trey Luna - Sr Guard from Richland

I don't have a ton of stats for this kid. I know he's averaging 22.0 ppg currently but I watch a lot of basketball in middle tn and he is def one of the best this season. I'd put him up there with Groves from ER and Strong from Clay. If he was 6'5" everyone would know him

No offense to Raymer but he isn't as good as Gillespie and Gillespie has played against way better teams this year.

They are in different classifications this year.  Kingston is AA, Greenville is AAA now.

Didn't realize that since both made it to State in the same classification last year.  I do know Raymer is a good player that is trying to carry his entire team this year

Clay County’s Grant Strong in Class A. He is by far and away the best player in Class A.

I would have thought Grant and Clay County would have been able to handle York
